Del – Uncle Touchy

Our guest this week is Del! He’s the co-host of the Planeswalker Traffic Report and builder of this week’s deck: Uncle Touchy (a Patton Oswalt reference). Uncle Touchy seems like it should be a beast to play against. And it is. And that’s the point. It’s built to produce the most incredible nightmare game of commander possible (with everyone’s consent). Neale and Vinny talk about our Local LGS, combo in a casual meta, and “the thirteen guy”.
